The West Deptford Democrats are famous for giving away inflated salaries for positions of much less stature. Umba's predecessor, Eric Campo, started at $106,000 in 2007. One year later, his salary had jumped to $110,240.

Although it is nice that Campo is an attorney, this is not really required to do the administrator's job because the township already pays a solicitor.

Umba was not given a "raise;" his salary reflects a new appointment and a new title. Furthermore, Umba's salary is the lower end of the township salary ordinance for this position. This amount has not changed since 2012.

In 2012 and 2013 Denice DiCarlo, now the lone Democrat on the committee, voted for this salary scale. So, once again she grandstands, misconstrues facts and bases her attacks on a personal nature.
